Thanks for the comment... I kind of agree what comes to saturation&vignetting. I blame it (at least partially) on the fact that the processing was done on my laptop, the screen of which is not good at all for photo processing. Looking at the image using my calibrated desktop/screen, a little less heavy-handed processing would have indeed be more appropriate.But since the photo ended up winning the challenge, it is obvious that eye-candy does have its benefits ;)

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little eye-candy. I've done the same thing in post-processing, and for much the same reason (ie, laptop screens seem to have different resolutions than my nice, accurate, monitor at home.)

Nonetheless, the voters have spoken, and I think that makes my original comment off-base. Congrats on a very nice challenge win.

p.s. The one low vote you got was not from me...I had you scored much higher. :-)

I love the composition. The saturation looks a bit overcooked to my eyes, but others may like the surreal look. But I think the vignetting is grossly overdone, and really detracts from your photo's impact. It screams "I'm a beginning photographer" at the viewer, and this is unfair...since your compositional skills show that you are not a beginner at all.

A lighter touch with the vignetting (and, in my opinion, with the saturation as well) will likely get higher votes from many viewers.
